Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (“Ceres” or the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership. The General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Domestic Holdings, Inc. (“MSD Holdings”). MSD Holdings is ultimately owned by Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is a publicly held company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Morgan Stanley is engaged in various financial services and other businesses.

Each Trading Advisor is allocated a portion of the Partnership’s assets to manage. Ceres is responsible for selecting additional commodity trading advisors from time to time and for replacing Trading Advisors as it deems necessary. Trading advisors can be added, removed, or replaced at any time by Ceres, or Ceres may determine to adjust the allocation of assets to each Trading Advisor, without the consent of, or advance notice to, the limited partners.
As of January 1, 2021, the Partnership invested a portion of its assets in CMF Winton Master L.P., organized in New York as a limited partnership (“CMF Winton” or the “Trading Company”).

MS&Co. also acts as the counterparty on all trading of foreign currency forward contracts. MS&Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. As of January 1, 2021, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”) acts as prime broker in connection with foreign exchange forward and swap transactions for the Trading Company.
As of March 31,June 30, 2022, units of limited partnership interest (“Unit(s)”) of the Partnership are being offered in 2 share classes (each, a “Class” or collectively, the “Classes”). A Limited Partner will initially receive Class A Units in the Partnership, provided, that certain investors (other than ERISA/IRA investors) who subscribe for Units on a consulting basis, the General Partner, and certain employees of Morgan Stanley and/or its subsidiaries (and their family members) may be designated to hold Class Z Units. The Partnership previously offered Units in Class D; however, no Limited Partners hold Class D Units as of March 31,June 30, 2022, and Class D Units are no longer offered.
Each of Class A and Z Units of the Partnership have the same investment exposure and rights except for the amount of the ongoing placement agent fee charged to each Class of Units; however, Class Z Units are not subject to an ongoing placement agent fee.

All Futures Interests held by the Partnership, including derivative financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, are held for trading purposes. The Futures Interests are recorded on trade date and open contracts are recorded at fair value (as described in Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements”) at the measurement date. Investments in Futures Interests denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the measurement date.
Gains
or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated and are determined using the
first-in,
first-out
method. Net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts are included as a component of equity in trading account in the Statements of Financial Condition. Net realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized gains or losses are included in the Statements of Income and Expenses. The Partnership does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included in total trading results in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
Partnership’s Cash
. The cash held by the Partnership that
is
available for Futures Interests trading is on deposit in a commodity brokerage account with MS&Co. The Partnership’s restricted cash is equal to the cash portion of assets on deposit to meet margin requirements, as determined by the exchange or counterparty, and required by MS&Co. All of these amounts are maintained separately. At March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of cash held for margin requirements was $12,644,519$13,749,159 and $19,943,752, respectively. Cash that is not classified as restricted cash is therefore classified as unrestricted cash. Restricted and unrestricted cash includes cash denominated in foreign currencies of $(311,204) (proceeds$68,767 (cost of $310,402)$72,220) and $410,895 (cost of $410,700) as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Income Taxes.
Income taxes have not been recorded as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnership’s income and expenses. The Partnership follows the guidance of ASC 740,
“Income Taxes,”
which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are
“more-likely-than-not”
of being sustained “when challenged” or “when examined” by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions determined not to meet the
mor
e-likely-than-notmore-likely-than-not
threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or liability in the Statements of Financial Condition for the current year. If a tax position does not meet the minimum statutory threshold to avoid the incurring of penalties, an expense for the amount of the statutory penalty and interest, if applicable, shall be recognized in the Partnership’s Statements of Income and Expenses in the periods in which the position is claimed or expected to be claimed. The General Partner has concluded that there are 0 significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The 2018 through 2021 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.
Investment Company Status.
The Partnership has been deemed to be an investment company since inception. Accordingly, the Partnership follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Update
2013-08,
Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements
” and reflects its investments at fair value with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Statements of In
com
eIncome and Expenses.
Net Income (Loss) per Unit.
Net income (loss) per Unit is calculated in accordance with ASC 946,
“Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
See Note 3, “Financial Highlights.”
There have been no material changes with respect to the Partnership’s critical accounting policies as reported in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021.

*
Net investment loss per Unit is calculated by dividing the interest income less total expenses by the average number of Units outstanding during the period. The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per Unit is a balancing amount necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per Unit with the other per unit information.
 
**
Annualized (except for incentive fees).
 
***
Interest income less total expenses.
The above ratios and total return may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the period. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the limited partner class using the limited partners’ share of income, expenses and average partners’ capital of the Partnership and include the income and expenses allocated from the Trading Company.

Financial Instrument Risks:
The Partnership trades Futures Interests. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price.
The fair value of an exchange-traded contract is based on the settlement price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which fair value is being determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange, the settlement price will be equal to the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated.
The General Partner estimates that, at any given time, approximately 29.9%8.1% to 37.4%44.8% of the Partnership’s contracts are traded
over-the-counter.
In general, the risks associated with
non-exchange-traded
contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded contracts because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to a
non-exchange-traded
contract. The Partnership has credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statements, the credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnership trades is limited to the unrealized gain amounts reflected in the Statements of Financial Condition.
The Partnership also has credit risk because MS&Co. acts as the commodity futures broker, or the counterparty, with respect to most of the Partnership’s assets. Exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are fair valued on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. With respect to the Partnership’s
non-exchange-traded
forward currency contracts, there are no daily settlements of variation in value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on such contracts be segregated. However, the Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Partnership’s accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at MS&Co., for the benefit of MS&Co. With respect to those
non-exchange-traded
forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. The Partnership has a netting agreement with MS&Co. The primary terms are based on industry standard master netting agreements. This agreement, which seeks to reduce both the Partnership’s and MS&Co.’s exposure on
non-exchange-traded
forward currency contracts, should materially decrease the Partnership’s credit risk in the event of MS&Co.’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
The General Partner monitors and attempts to mitigate the Partnership’s risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and accordingly, believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of U.S. Treasury bills, futures, forward and option contracts by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions.
The Futures Interests traded, and the U.S. Treasury bills held, by the Partnership involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions, and consequently, in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on
non-exchange-traded
forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract.
In the ordinary course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts and agreements that contain various representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be determined, as this could include future claims that have not yet been made against the Partnership. The General Partner considers the risk of any future obligation relating to these indemnifications to be remote.

Since its discovery in December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as
COVID-19,
has spread from China to many other countries, including the United States. The outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary has declared a public health emergency in the United States in response to the outbreak.
The
COVID-19
pandemic and related voluntary and government-imposed social and business restrictions has impacted global economic conditions and adversely affected various industries (including, but not limited to, transportation, hospitality and entertainment), resulting in volatility in the global financial markets, disruption in global supply chains, increased unemployment, and operational challenges such as the temporary and permanent closures of businesses,
sheltering-in-place
directives and increased remote work protocols. If the pandemic continues to be prolonged or the actions of governments and central banks are unsuccessful, including actions to facilitate the comprehensive distribution of effective vaccines, the adverse impact on the global economy will deepen.
Given the continuing development of this situation, it is not possible to accurately predict how the market disruptions caused by
COVID-19
will further impact the U.S and other world economies or the value of the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s investments, or for how long the effects of such events will continue. Nevertheless, the novel coronavirus continues to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s investments and operations.
On February 22, 2022, the United States and several European nations announced sanctions against Russia in response to Russia’s mobilization of forces and threat of invasion of the Ukraine, and governments around the world imposed, and may in the future impose, additional sanctions on Russia in response to its continued escalation of this conflict. On February 24, 2022, Russian President Putin commenced a full-scale invasion of Russia’s
pre-positioned
forces into the Ukraine. The conflict has created volatility in the price of various commodities and may have a negative impact on business activity globally, and therefore could adversely affect the performance of the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s investments. Furthermore, uncertainties regarding the conflict between the two nations and the varying involvement of the United States and other NATO countries preclude prediction as to the ultimate impact on global economic and market conditions, and, as a result, presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Partnership/Trading Company and the performance of their investments or operations, and the ability of the Partnership to achieve its investment objectives. Additionally, to the extent that investors, service providers and/or other third parties have material operations or assets in Russia or Ukraine, they may have their operations disrupted and/or suffer adverse consequences related to the ongoing conflict.

Trading Activities:
The Partnership’s objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests. Therefore, the Trading Advisor will take speculative positions in Futures Interests where it feels the best profit opportunities exist for its trading strategy. As such, the average number of contracts outstanding in absolute quantities (the total of the open long and open short positions) has been presented as a part of the volume disclosure, as position direction is not an indicative factor in such volume disclosures.
All of the Futures Interests owned by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. The monthly average number of futures contracts traded during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 3,2332,937 and 8,003,6,507, respectively. The monthly average number of futures contracts traded during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 3,085 and 7,255, respectively. The monthly average number of metals forward contracts traded during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 554346 and 488,715, respectively. The monthly average number of metals forward contracts traded during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 450 and 602, respectively. The monthly average notional values of currency forward contracts traded during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $663,371,265$635,110,854 and $589,582,105,$786,260,462, respectively. The monthly average notional values of currency forward contracts traded during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $649,241,059 and $687,921,283, respectively.

In the event of default by the Partnership, MS&Co., the Partnership’s commodity futures broker and the sole counterparty to the Partnership’s
non-exchange-traded
contracts, as applicable, has the right to offset the Partnership’s obligation with the Partnership’s cash and/or U.S. Treasury bills held by MS&Co., thereby minimizing MS&Co.’s risk of loss. In certain instances, MS&Co. may not post collateral and as such, in the event of default by MS&Co., the Partnership is exposed to the amount shown in the Statements of Financial Condition. In the case of exchange-traded contracts, the Partnership’s exposure to counterparty risk may be reduced since the exchange’s clearinghouse interposes its credit between buyer and seller and the clearinghouse’s guarantee funds may be available in the event of a default. In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the amount shown due to overcollateralization.

Fair Value Measurements:
Partnership’s and the Trading Company’s Fair Value Measurements.
Fair value is defined as the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The fair value of exchange-traded futures, forward and option contracts is determined by the various exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of business on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period from various exchanges. The fair value of
non-exchange-traded
foreign currency option contracts is calculated by applying an industry standard model application for options valuation of foreign currency options, using as input the spot prices, interest rates and option implied volatilities quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period. U.S. Treasury bills are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period.
The Partnership and the Trading Company consider prices for commodity futures, swap and option contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1). The values of U.S. Tre
a
suryTreasury bills,
non-exchange-traded
forward, swap and certain option contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by pricing services that derive fair values for those assets and liabilities from observable inputs (Level 2). As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the periods ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership and the Trading Company did not hold any derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of the General Partner’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

Investment in the Trading Company:
On January 1, 2021, the assets allocated to WCM for trading were invested in CMF Winton, a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of New York. CMF Winton permits accounts managed by WCM using the Winton Futures Program, a proprietary, systematic trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle. The General Partner is also the general partner of CMF Winton. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by WCM, including the Partnership, are permitted to be limited partners of CMF Winton. The General Partner and WCM believe that trading through this structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process. The General Partner and WCM have agreed that WCM will trade the Partnership’s assets allocated to WCM at a level that is up to 1.5 times the amount of assets allocated, provided that the General Partner may instruct WCM to change such level in accordance with the investment management agreement from time to time.
The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to the trading program discussed above during the fiscal quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2022.
The Partnership’s/Trading Company’s trading of futures, forward, swap, and option contracts, if applicable, on commodities is done primarily on U.S. and foreign commodity exchanges. The Partnership/Trading Company engage in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained with MS&Co.
Generally, a limited partner in the Trading Company may withdraw all or part of its capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Trading Company as of the end of any month (the “Redemption Date”) after a request has been made to the Trading Manager at least three days in advance of the Redemption Date. Such withdrawals are classified as a liability when the limited partner elects to redeem and informs the Trading Company. However, a limited partner may request a withdrawal as of the end of any day if such request is received by the Trading Manager at least three days in advance of the proposed withdrawal date.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership does not have, nor does it expect to have, any capital assets. The Partnership does not engage in sales of goods or services. Its assets are its (i) investment in the Trading Company, (ii) redemptions receivable from the Trading Company, (iii) equity in trading account, consisting of restricted and unrestricted cash, net unrealized appreciation on open futures contracts and net unrealized appreciation on open forward contracts, as applicable, and (iv) interest receivable. Because of the low margin deposits normally required in commodity futures trading, relatively small price movements may result in substantial losses to the Partnership, through its direct investments. While substantial losses could lead to a material decrease in liquidity, no such illiquidity occurred in the firstsecond quarter of 2022.
The Partnership’s/Trading Company’s investment in Futures Interests may, from time to time, be illiquid. Most U.S. futures exchanges limit fluctuations in prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits.” Trades may not be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If the price for a particular futures or option contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in that futures or option contract can neither be taken nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Futures prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. These market conditions could prevent the Partnership/Trading Company from promptly liquidating its futures or option contracts and result in restrictions on redemptions.
There is no limitation on daily price movements in trading forward contracts on foreign currencies. The markets for some world currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may prevent the Partnership/Trading Company from trading in potentially profitable markets or prevent the Partnership/Trading Company from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions in such markets, subjecting it to substantial losses. Either of these market conditions could result in restrictions on redemptions. For the periods covered by this report, illiquidity has not materially affected the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s assets.
Other than the risks inherent in commodity futures, forwards, options, swaps and other derivatives trading and U.S. Treasury bills and money market mutual fund securities, the General Partner knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties at the present time that are reasonably likely to result in the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
The Partnership’s capital consists of the capital contributions of the partners as increased or decreased by net realized and/or unrealized gains or losses on trading and by expenses, interest income, subscriptions and redemptions of Units.
For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, the Partnership’s capital increased 15.2%22.8% from $136,910,662 to $157,727,947.$168,109,020. This increase was attributable to a net income of $26,032,852$40,080,006 which was partially offset by redemptions of 209,591.009338,335.846 Class A limited partner Units totaling $5,215,567.$8,881,648. Future redemptions could impact the amount of funds available for investments in commodity contract positions in subsequent periods.
Other than as discussed above, there are no known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, that would affect, nor any expected material changes to, the Partnership’s capital resource arrangements at the present time.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The Partnership does not have any
off-balance
sheet arrangements, nor does it have contractual obligations or commercial commitments to make future payments, that would affect its liquidity or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting periods. The General Partner believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Partnership’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Financial Statements.
20

The Partnership/Trading Company records all investments at fair value in its financial statements, with changes in fair value reported as a component of net realized gains (losses) and net change in unrealized gains (losses) in the Statements of Income and Expenses.
Results of Operations
During the Partnership’s firstsecond quarter of 2022, the net asset value per Unit for Class A increased 19.3%8.9% from $22.22$26.50 to $26.50$28.87 as compared to an increase of 3.1%4.6% during the firstsecond quarter of 2021. During the Partnership’s firstsecond quarter of 2022, the net asset value per Unit for Class Z increased 19.5%9.2% from $9.46$11.30 to $11.30$12.34 as compared to an increase of 3.4%4.8% during the firstsecond quarter of 2021. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the firstsecond quarter of 2022 of $28,865,618.$16,160,243. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interests in currencies, energy, U.S. and
non-U.S.
interest rates and were partially offset by losses in grains, indices, livestock, metals and softs. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the second quarter of 2021 of $8,462,282. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interests in energy, grains, indices, metals and softs and were partially offset by losses in currencies, U.S. and
non-U.S.
interest rates and livestock.
During the second quarter, the Partnership’s most significant gains were achieved in currencies during April and June from short positions in the euro and Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the dollar strengthened as the Fed announced aggressive policies on raising interest rates towards fighting inflation. Within the global fixed income markets, gains were recorded during April and June from short positions in U.S. and European fixed income futures. Within the energies, gains were achieved from long positions across the energy complex as supply shortfalls pushed prices higher. A portion of the Partnership’s gains for the quarter was offset by losses incurred within the agricultural markets during June from long positions in corn, soybeans, and cotton futures as prices reversed lower off their previous highs. Within the metals sector, losses were recorded during April and May from long positions in industrial metals as the continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine and renewed COVID lockdowns in China spurred concerns for weakening global industrial output. Further losses were incurred during April and May from positions in European and Asian equity index futures.
During the Partnership’s six months ended June 30, 2022, the net asset value per Unit for Class A increased 29.9% from $22.22 to $28.87 as compared to an increase of 7.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the Partnership’s six months ended June 30, 2022, the net asset value per Unit for Class Z increased 30.4% from $9.46 to $12.34 as compared to an increase of 8.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $45,025,861. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interests in currencies, energy, grains, U.S. and
non-U.S.
interest rates, metals and softs and were partially offset by losses in indices and livestock. The Partnership experienced a net trading gain before fees and expenses in the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2021 of $6,328,987.$14,791,269. Gains were primarily attributable to the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interests in currencies, energy, grains, indices, metals and softs and were partially offset by losses in currencies, U.S. and
non-U.S.
interest rates and livestock.
During the first quarter,six months of the year, the Partnership’s most notable gains were experiencedachieved within the energy markets during January, February, March, April and MarchMay from long positions in in global crude oil and its refined products as energy prices surged higher inon the lead up to and subsequentcombination of the impact the Russian invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Additional gains were recorded during March from short positions in U.S. fixed income futures as bond prices retreated amid a push by the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to combathad on global energy supplies and growing inflation. Further gains were achieved from short positions in European short-term interest rate futures.consumption demand. Within the currencies, gains were achieved during March, April, and June from short positions in the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar as the value of the yen weakened as the Bank of Japan indicated it would maintain a dovish stance on monetary easing. Additional gains in the currency markets were recorded throughout the quarterduring March, April and June from short positions in U.S. and European fixed income futures as bond prices retreated amid a push by central banks to raise interest rates to combat growing inflation. In the euro relative tometals, profits were recorded from long positions in aluminum and nickel futures throughout the U.S. dollar.quarter. Within the agricultural sector, gains were recorded during January and February from long positions in corn and soybean futures as inflationary pressures pushed prices higher. Additional gains were achieved in the agricultural sector from long cotton futures positions during January and March. In the metals, profits were recorded from long positions in aluminum and nickel futures throughout the quarter. The Partnership’s overall trading gains for the first quartersix months of the year were partially offset by trading losses recorded during January within the global stock index markets during January from long positions in U.S. equity index futures as rising tensions in Europe and inflationary fears weighed on global stock prices. Further losses in the global stock index markets were experienced during April and May from positions in Asian and European equity index futures.
 
2021

Commodity markets are highly volatile. Broad price fluctuations and rapid inflation increase not only the risk involved in commodity trading, but also the possibility of profit. The profitability of the Partnership depends on the existence of major price trends and the ability of the Trading Advisor to correctly identify those price trends. Price trends are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, weather, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. To the extent that market trends exist and the Trading Advisor is able to identify them, the Partnership expects to increase capital through operations.
The Partnership receives monthly interest on 100% of the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s account during each month at a rate equal to 100% of the monthly average of the
4-week
U.S. Treasury bill discount rate. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership will not receive interest on amounts in the futures brokerage account that are committed to margin. Any interest earned on the Partnership’s cash account in excess of the amounts described above, if any, will be retained by MS&Co. and/or shared with the General Partner. All interest earned on U.S. Treasury bills and money market fund securities will be retained by the Partnership, as applicable. Interest income for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 increased by $11,364$195,819 and $207,183, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher interest rates during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021. Interest earned by the Partnership will increase the net asset value of the Partnership. The amount of interest income earned by the Partnership depends on (1) the average daily equity maintained in cash in the Partnership’s accounts, (2) the amount of U.S. Treasury bills and/or money market mutual fund securities held by the Partnership and (3) interest rates over which none of the Partnership or MS&Co. has control.
Certain clearing fees are based on the number of trades executed by the Trading Advisors for the Partnership. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the number of trades executed during the period. Clearing fees for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 decreased by $37,927$50,528 and $88,455, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021. The decrease in clearing fees was primarily due to a decrease in the number of trades made by the Partnership during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021.
Ongoing placement agent fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s Class A adjusted net assets on the first day of each month and are affected by trading performance, subscriptions, and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Ongoing placement agent fees for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 decreasedincreased by $13,510$23,438 and $9,928, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021. The decreaseincrease was primarily due to a decreasean increase in Class A adjusted net assets during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021.
General Partner fees are paid to the General Partner for administering the business and affairs of the Partnership. The General Partner’s fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the beginning of each month and are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. General Partner’s fees for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 decreasedincreased by $14,256$23,821 and $9,565, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021. The decreaseincrease was primarily due to a decreasean increase in average net assets during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021. Effective January 1, 2021, the Partnership directly pays the brokerage fees and other transaction-related fees and expenses, as incurred and also pays its ongoing administrative, operating, offering and organizational expenses (including, but not limited to, periodic legal, accounting, administrative, filing, reporting and data processing fees) and its pro rata share of such expenses of any trading company to which the Partnership has allocated assets.
21

Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the Partnership’s adjusted net asset value as of the beginning of each month and are affected by trading performance and redemptions. Accordingly, they must be compared in relation to the fluctuations in the monthly net asset values. Management fees for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 decreased by $59,758$1,269 and $61,027, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average net assets during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 as compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2021.
22

Incentive fees are based on the new trading profits generated by the Trading Advisors at the end of the year as defined in the management agreement among the Partnership, the General Partner and the relevant Trading Advisor. Trading performance for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 resulted in incentive fees of $1,025,005 and $2,696,235, respectively. Trading performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted in incentive fees of $1,671,230$396,518 and $538,838,$935,356, respectively. To the extent that a Trading Advisor incurs a loss for the Partnership, the Trading Advisor will not be paid incentive fees until such Trading Advisor recovers any net loss incurred and earns additional new trading profits for the Partnership.
In allocating substantially all of the assets of the Partnership among the Trading Advisors, the General Partner considers, among other factors, the Trading Advisors’ past performance, trading style, volatility of markets traded and fee requirements. The General Partner may modify or terminate the allocation of assets to the Trading Advisors and allocate assets to additional advisors at any time.
As of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Partnership’s assets were allocated among the Trading Advisors in the following approximate percentages:

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
.
Introduction
The Partnership and the Trading Company are commodity pools engaged primarily in the speculative trading of Futures Interests. The market-sensitive instruments held by the Partnership are acquired for speculative trading purposes only and, as a result, all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets are at risk of trading loss. Unlike an operating company, the risk of market-sensitive instruments is inherent to the primary business activity of the Partnership.
The Futures Interests on such contracts traded by the Partnership involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of held interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions, and consequently in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward and exchange-traded futures-styled option contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on
non-exchange-traded
forward currency contracts and forward currency option contracts are settled upon termination of the contract. Gains and losses on
non-exchange-traded
forward currency option contracts are settled on an agreed-upon settlement date.
The Partnership’s total market risk may increase or decrease as it is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the diversification among the Partnership’s open positions, the volatility present within the markets, and the liquidity of the markets.
The face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership is typically many times the applicable margin requirements. Margin requirements generally range between 2% and 15% of contract face value. Additionally, the use of leverage causes the face value of the market sector instruments held by the Partnership typically to be many times the total capitalization of the Partnership.
 
2223

The Partnership’s past performance is no guarantee of its future results. Any attempt to numerically quantify the Partnership’s market risk is limited by the uncertainty of its speculative trading. The Partnership’s speculative trading and use of leverage may cause future losses and volatility (i.e., “risk of ruin”) that far exceed the Partnership’s experience to date as discussed under the “Partnership’s Value at Risk in Different Market Sectors” section and significantly exceed the Value at Risk tables disclosed.
Limited partners will not be liable for losses exceeding the current net asset value of their investment.
Quantifying the Partnership’s and the Trading Company’s Trading Value at Risk
The following quantitative disclosures regarding the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s market risk exposures contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). All quantitative disclosures in this section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor, except for statements of historical fact.
The Partnership/Trading Company accounts for open positions on the basis of fair value accounting principles. Any loss in the market value of the Partnership’s open positions is directly reflected in the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s earnings and cash flow.
The Partnership’s/Trading Company’s risk exposure in the market sectors traded by the Trading Advisors is estimated below in terms of Value at Risk. Please note that the Value at Risk model is used to numerically quantify market risk for historic reporting purposes only and is not utilized by either Ceres or the Trading Advisor in their daily risk management activities.
Value at Risk is a measure of the maximum amount which the Partnership/Trading Company could reasonably be expected to lose in a given market sector. However, the inherent uncertainty of the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s speculative trading and the recurrence of market movements far exceeding expectations in the markets traded by the Partnership/Trading Company could result in actual trading or
non-trading
losses far beyond the indicated Value at Risk or the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s experience to date (i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of the foregoing, as well as the risks and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the inclusion of the quantification in this section should not be considered to constitute any assurance or representation that the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s losses in any market sector will be limited to Value at Risk or by the Partnership’s/Trading Company’s attempts to manage its market risk.
Exchange margin requirements have been used by the Partnership/Trading Company as the measure of its Value at Risk. Margin requirements are set by exchanges to equal or exceed the maximum losses reasonably expected to be incurred in the fair value of any given contract in
95%-99%
of any
one-day
interval. The margin levels are established by dealers and exchanges using historical price studies as well as an assessment of current market volatility (including the implied volatility of the options on a given futures contract) and economic fundamentals to provide a probabilistic estimate of the maximum expected near-term
one-day
price fluctuation.
Value at Risk tables represent a probabilistic assessment of the risk of loss in market sensitive instruments. The first trading Value at Risk table reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership directly and through its investments in the Trading Company. The remaining trading Value at Risk tables reflect the market sensitive instruments held by the Partnership directly (i.e. in the managed accounts in the Partnership’s name traded by certain Trading Advisors) and indirectly by the Trading Company separately. There have been no material changes in the trading Value at Risk,
non-trading
risk and risk management information previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form
10-K

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
.
The Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership on the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods expected in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President (the General Partner’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the General Partner’s principal financial officer) of the General Partner, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.
The General Partner is responsible for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Partnership’s external disclosures.
The General Partner’s President and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and, based on that evaluation, the General Partner’s President and CFO have concluded that, at that date, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
The Partnership’s
internal control over financial reporting
is a process under the supervision of the General Partner’s President and CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These controls include policies and procedures that:
 
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership;
 
·
provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) the Partnership’s receipts are handled and expenditures are made only pursuant to authorizations of the General Partner; and
 
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
.
This section describes the major pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which MS&Co. or its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Partnership or the General Partner.
On June 1, 2011, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company. As a result of that conversion, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated is now named Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.” or “the Company”).
MS&Co. is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, a Delaware holding company. Morgan Stanley files periodic reports with the SEC as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which include current descriptions of material litigation and material proceedings and investigations, if any, by governmental and/or regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations concerning Morgan Stanley and its subsidiaries, including MS&Co. As a consolidated subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, MS&Co. does not file its own periodic reports with the SEC that contain descriptions of material litigation, proceedings and investigations. As a result, we refer you to the “Legal Proceedings” section of Morgan Stanley’s SEC
10-K
filings for 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017. In addition, MS&Co. annually prepares an Audited, Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition (“Audited Financial Statement”) that is publicly available on Morgan Stanley’s website at
www.morganstanley.com
. We refer you to the Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies – Legal section of MS&Co.’s 20202021 Audited Financial Statement.
In addition to the matters described in those filings, in the normal course of business, each of Morgan Stanley and MS&Co. has been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation, as well as being subject to regulatory investigations arising in connection with its activities as a global diversified financial services institution. Certain of the legal actions or regulatory investigations include claims for substantial penalties, compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. Each of Morgan Stanley and MS&Co. is also involved, from time to time, in investigations and proceedings by governmental and/penalties or regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, fines or penalties. The number of these investigations and proceedings has increased in recent years with regard to many financial services institutions, including Morgan Stanley and MS&Co.damages.
MS&Co. is a Delaware limited liability company with its main business office located at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036. Among other registrations and memberships, MS&Co. is registered as a futures commission merchant and is a member of the National Futures Association.
During the preceding five years, the following administrative, civil, or criminal actions pending, on appeal or concluded against MS&Co. or any of its principals are material within the meaning of CFTC Rule 4.24(l)(2) or 4.34(k)(2):

On September 28, 2017, the CFTC issued an order filing and simultaneously settling charges against MS&Co. regarding violations of CFTC Rule 166.3 by failing to diligently supervise the reconciliation of exchange and clearing fees with the amounts it ultimately charged customers for certain transactions on multiple exchanges. The order and settlement required MS&Co. to pay a $500,000 penalty and cease and desist from violating CFTC Rule 166.3.

On November 2, 2017, the CFTC issued an order filing and simultaneously settling charges against MS&Co. for
non-compliance
with applicable rules governing Part 17 Large Trader reports to the CFTC. The order requires MS&Co. to pay a $350,000 penalty and cease and desist from further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act.
On September 30, 2020, the SEC entered into a settlement order with MS&Co. settling an administrative action which relates to MS&Co.’s violations of the order marking requirements of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act resulting from its improper use of aggregation units in structuring the Firm’s equity swaps business. The order found that MS&Co. improperly operated its equity swaps business without netting certain “long” and “short” positions as required by Rule 200(c) of Regulation SHO. The order found that the long exposure to an equity security (the “Long Unit”) and the short exposure to an equity security (the “Short Unit”) were not independent from one another and did not have separate trading strategies or objectives without regard to each other, and that the Long and Short Units were not eligible for the exception in Rule 200(f) of Regulation SHO. The order found that MS&Co. willfully violated Section 200(g) of Regulation SHO. MS&Co. consented, without admitting or denying the findings and without adjudication of any issue of law or fact, to a censure; to cease and desist from committing or causing future violations; to pay a civil penalty of $5 million; and to comply with the undertaking enumerated in the order.
Civil Litigation
On August 18, 2009, Relators Roger Hayes and C. Talbot Heppenstall, Jr., filed a qui tam action in New Jersey state court styled
State of New Jersey ex. rel. Hayes v. Bank of America Corp., et al
. The complaint, filed under seal pursuant to the New Jersey False Claims Act, alleged that the Company and several other underwriters of municipal bonds had defrauded New Jersey issuers by misrepresenting that they would achieve the best price or lowest cost of capital in connection with certain municipal bond issuances. On March 17, 2016, the court entered an order unsealing the complaint. On November 17, 2017, Relators filed an amended complaint to allege the Company mispriced certain bonds issued in twenty-three bond offerings between 2008 and 2017, having a total par amount of $6,946 million. The complaint seeks, among other relief, treble damages. On February 22, 2018, the Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint, and on July 17, 2018, the court denied the Company’s motion. On October 13, 2021, following a series of voluntary and involuntary dismissals, Relators limited their claims to certain bonds issued in five offerings the Company underwrote between 2008 and 2011, having a total par amount of $3,856 million.

On May 17, 2013, plaintiff in
IKB International S.A. in Liquidation, et al. v. Morgan Stanley, et al.
filed a complaint against MS&Co. and certain affiliates in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County (“Supreme Court of NY”). The complaint alleges that defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions in the sale to plaintiff of certain mortgage pass-through certificates backed by securitization trusts containing residential mortgage loans. The total amount of certificates allegedly sponsored, underwritten and/or sold by MS&Co. to plaintiff was approximately $133 million. The complaint alleges causes of action against MS&Co. for common law fraud, fraudulent concealment, aiding and abetting fraud, and negligent misrepresentation, and seeks, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages. On October 29, 2014, the court granted in part and denied in part MS&Co.’s motion to dismiss. All claims regarding four certificates were dismissed. After these dismissals, the remaining amount of certificates allegedly issued by MS&Co. or sold to plaintiff by MS&Co. was approximately $116 million. On August 11, 2016, the Appellate Division, First Department (“First Department”) affirmed the trial court’s decision denying in part MS&Co.’s motion to dismiss the complaint. On July 15, 2022, MS&Co. filed a motion for summary judgment. At December 25, 2019, the current unpaid balance of the
30

mortgage pass-through certificates at issue in this action was approximately $22 million, and the certificates had incurred actual losses of $58 million. Based on currently available information, MS&Co. believes it could incur a loss in this action up to the difference between the $22 million unpaid balance of these certificates (plus any losses incurred) and their fair market value at the time of a judgment against MS&Co., or upon sale, plus
pre-
and post-judgment interest, fees and costs. MS&Co. may be entitled to be indemnified for some of these losses and to an offset for interest received by the plaintiff prior to a judgment.
In August of 2017, MS&Co. was named as a defendant in a purported antitrust class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) styled
Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System et al. v. Bank of America Corporation et al.
Plaintiffs allege, inter alia, that MS&Co., together with a number of other financial institution defendants, violated U.S. antitrust laws and New York state law in connection with their alleged efforts to prevent the development of electronic exchange-based platforms for securities lending. The class action complaint was filed on behalf of a purported class of borrowers and lenders who entered into stock loan transactions with the defendants. The class action complaint seeks, among other relief, certification of the class of plaintiffs and treble damages. On September 27, 2018, the court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the class action complaint. A decision on plaintiffs’ motion for class certification is pending. On June 30, 2022, a magistrate judge issued recommendations that the court certify a class.
Settled Civil Litigation

 & Co. Incorporated et al.
, in the Supreme Court of NY. The complaint related to a $275 million credit default swap (“CDS”) referencing the super senior portion of the STACK
2006-1
CDO. The complaint asserted claims for common law fraud, fraudulent inducement and fraudulent concealment and alleges that MS&Co. misrepresented the risks of the STACK
2006-1
CDO to CDIB, and that MS&Co knew that the assets backing the CDO were of poor quality when it entered into the CDS with CDIB. On March 22, 2021, the parties entered into a settlement agreement. On April 16, 2021, the court entered a stipulation of voluntary discontinuance, with prejudice.

31

allegedly issued by MS&Co. or sold to plaintiff by MS&Co. was approximately $385 million.

On November 25, 2013, July 16, 2014, and May 19, 2015, respectively, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed its claims against MS&Co. with respect to three of the securitizations at issue.

The complaint alleged that MS&Co. made misrepresentations and omissions regarding residential mortgage-backed securities and notes issued by the Cheyne SIV, and asserted violations of the California False Claims Act and other state laws and sought treble damages, civil penalties, disgorgement, and injunctive relief. On April 24, 2019, the parties reached an agreement to settle the litigation.

Beginning on March 25, 2019, MS&Co. was named as a defendant in a series of putative class action complaints filed in the United States District Court for the SDNY, the first of which is styled

. Each complaint alleged a conspiracy to fix prices and restrain competition in the market for unsecured bonds issued by the following Government-Sponsored Enterprises: the Federal National Mortgage Association; the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation; the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation; and the Federal Home Loan Banks. The purported class period for each suit is from January 1, 2012 to June 1, 2018. Each complaint raised a claim under Section 1 of the Sherman Act and sought, among other things, injunctive relief and treble compensatory damages. On May 23, 2019, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint styled
In re GSE Bonds Antitrust Litigation

MS&Co. may establish reserves from time to time in connections with such actions.
